Fragrant and rich, this side has a creamy texture without any cream. At only a about a half tablespoon of clarified butter per serving they're not too bad on the calorie count either.

INDIAN SPICED SPINACH WITH POTATOES



Indian Spiced Spinach With Potatoes image

This recipe is from Mridula Baljekar's 30 Minute Vegetarian Indian Cookbook. The leftovers make a great omelet filling, or eaten cold in a wrap. I usually forgo the dried chiles, and use a comparable amount of red pepper flakes.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 -4 tablespoons canola oil or 2 -4 tablespoons sunflower oil
3/4 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1 -2 dried red chilies, chopped or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2-1 yellow onion, finely diced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 small green chili pepper, seeded chopped (optional ingredient)
4 1/2 cups peeled cubed potatoes (1 inch cubes)
1/2-1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cups chopped fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat. When it's hot, add in the mustard seeds. When they start popping, add in the cumin seeds, then the chile/red pepper flakes. Stir for a few seconds. ( I sometimes have trouble with getting my mustard seeds to pop. I always suspect that it has to do with their age, but I'm only guessing there. If they don't pop in a reasonable amount of time, I just proceed. It's never affected the flavor of the finished dish).
  • Add the onion, garlic and green chile if you're using one. Stir fry these for 5 minutes, adjusting the heat down partway through the fry time.
  • Add the potatoes and increase the heat a little. Stir fry for 5 minutes, then cover, turn the heat back down a bit, and cook for 4 minutes. I lift the lid and give them a quick stir halfway through this time. The potatoes and onion will be starting to brown at this point.
  • Stir in the salt and spices. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Give a quick stir after the first 5 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and increase the heat. Stir in the spinach as it wilts, then cover pan again, reduce heat again and let cook for another 7 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and test one of the potatoes, they should be cooked through at this point. (if not, recover and cook a bit longer) Reduce the heat a little and continue cooking to evaporate any remaining juices from the spinach. Stir frequently during this time to avoid sticking.

INDIAN SPICED CAULIFLOWER AND POTATOES



INDIAN SPICED CAULIFLOWER AND POTATOES image

Categories     Potato     Vegetable     Vegetarian

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 head of Cauliflower, cut into 3/4 inch florets
1 pound of Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 medium red pepper, cubed
5 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic clove, finely minced
2 tsp minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp paprika
1 cup water
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Toss cauliflower and potatoes together on a large baking sheet with about 3 tbsp of vegetable oil, cumin seeds and season with salt. Roast on the top rack in your oven for about 20 minutes, turning once, or until the cauliflower begins to brown, and the potatoes are tender. While the cauliflower and potatoes are roasting, cook the onion, garlic and ginger in a large skillet with the remaining 2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions turn translucent. Add your spices: cumin, coriander, tumeric, cayenne and paprika and cook for approximately 2 minutes. Stir in water and bring to a boil. Add roast cauliflower and potatoes and cubed peppers. Cook covered for about 5 additional minutes. Turn off heat and add the sour cream, stirring gently to combine. Serve over steamed white or brown rice.

Tips:

  • For a crispy exterior and tender interior, parboil the potatoes before roasting.
  • Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful dish. Some popular options include cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala.
  • Be generous with the oil. This will help the potatoes roast evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Indian spiced potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying dish, give Indian spiced potatoes a try.
